I will now teach my son Increase (and others of my children) the way of raising a lesson out of every verse in his reading of the Bible; and of turning it into a Prayer; and engage him (and them) unto a daily Course in reading the Bible in such a way ~ Cotton Mather
Children Reading quotes by Cotton Mather
As the child approaches a new text he is entitled to an introduction so that when he reads, the gist of the ... story can provide some guide for a fluent reading. ~ Marie Clay
Children Reading quotes by Marie Clay
You don't have to care about children to care about children. One of the things that I talk a lot about is the fact of the importance of third-grade reading level. By the end of third grade, if the child is not at reading level, it'll drop off. They never catch up. ~ Kamala Harris
Children Reading quotes by Kamala Harris
Anything that gets children reading is fine. ~ Michael Morpurgo
Children Reading quotes by Michael Morpurgo
Children read to learn - even when they are reading fantasy, nonsense, light verse, comics or the copy on cereal packets, they are expanding their minds all the time, enlarging their vocabulary, making discoveries - it is all new to them. ~ Joan Aiken
Children Reading quotes by Joan Aiken
Reading with children is an enormous gift to them. It's a great honor to invite children to read with adults. ~ Henri Nouwen
Children Reading quotes by Henri Nouwen
If reading becomes a bore, mental death is on the way. Children taught to read by tedious mechanical means rapidly learn to skim over the dull text without bothering to delve into its implications
which in time will make them prey to propaganda and to assertions based on scanty evidence, or none. ~ Joan Aiken
Children Reading quotes by Joan Aiken
If I do a poetry reading I want people to walk out and say they feel better for having been there - not because you've done a comedy performance but because you're talking about your father dying or having young children, things that touch your soul. ~ Roger McGough
Children Reading quotes by Roger McGough
All the homeschooling parents I know meet on a regular basis with other families. They organize field trips, cooking classes, reading clubs and Scout troops. Their children tend to be happy, confident and socially engaged. ~ Quinn Cummings
Children Reading quotes by Quinn Cummings
There's a different flavor to children's literature you read after you grow up than there was reading it as a child. Things that were sweet as a child become bitter once you grow up. ~ Mizuki Nomura
Children Reading quotes by Mizuki Nomura
Reading is like breathing in and writing is like breathing out, and storytelling is what links both: it is the soul of literacy. The most powerful tool that we have to strengthen literacy is often the most underused and overlooked, and that is a child's own stories. ~ Pam Allyn
Children Reading quotes by Pam Allyn
Children do not learn in school; they are babysat. It takes maybe 50 hours to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. After that, students can teach themselves. Mainly what school does is to keep the children off the streets and out of the job market. ~ John Taylor Gatto
Children Reading quotes by John Taylor Gatto
What blockheads are those wise persons, who think it necessary that a child should comprehend everything it reads. ~ Robert Southey
Children Reading quotes by Robert Southey
One of my passions is that children enjoy their time at school - and reading for pleasure can be an important part of that. ~ Charles Clarke
Children Reading quotes by Charles Clarke
You can find magic
wherever you look.
Sit back and relax,
all you need is a book. ~ Dr. Seuss
Children Reading quotes by Dr. Seuss
I learned to read from Mrs. Augusta Baker, the children's librarian ... If that was the only good deed that lady ever did in her life, may she rest in peace. Because that deed saved my life, if not sooner, then later, when sometimes the only thing I had to hold on to was knowing I could read. ~ Audre Lorde
Children Reading quotes by Audre Lorde
If you love the backs of cereal boxes or still recall how much you loved the Archie comics, share all that with your child. Ingesting words, like fruit and vegetables, is just plain good for us, no matter where they are coming from. ~ Pam Allyn
Children Reading quotes by Pam Allyn
The great bulk of the legal voters of the South were men who owned no slaves; their homes were generally in the hills and poor country; their facilities for educating their children, even up to the point of reading and writing, were very limited; their interest in the contest was very meagre
what there was, if they had been capable of seeing it, was with the North; they too needed emancipation. Under the old regime they were looked down upon by those who controlled all the affairs in the interest of slave-owners, as poor white trash who were allowed the ballot so long as they cast it according to direction. ~ Ulysses S. Grant
Children Reading quotes by Ulysses S. Grant
No player in the NBA was born wanting to play basketball. The desire to play ball or to read must be planted. The last 25 years of research show that reading aloud to a child is the oldest, cheapest and must successful method of instilling that desire. Shooting baskets with a child creates a basketball player; reading to a child creates a reader. ~ Jim Trelease
Children Reading quotes by Jim Trelease
It is hardly surprising that children should enthusiastically start their education at an early age with the Absolute Knowledge of computer science; while they are unable to read, for reading demands making judgments at every line. Conversation is almost dead, and soon so too will be those who knew how to speak. ~ Guy Debord
Children Reading quotes by Guy Debord
We measure the success of schools not by the kinds of human beings they promote but by whatever increases in reading scores they chalk up. We have allowed quantitative standards, so central to the adult economic system, to become the principal yardstick for our definition of our children's worth. ~ Kenneth Keniston
Children Reading quotes by Kenneth Keniston
Although Lewis Carroll thought of The Hunting of the Snark as a nonsense ballad for children, it is hard to imagine - in fact one shudders to imagine - a child of today reading and enjoying it. ~ Martin Gardner
Children Reading quotes by Martin Gardner
The most common and the monstrous defect in the education of the day is that children fail to acquire the habit of reading. ~ Charlotte M. Mason
Children Reading quotes by Charlotte M. Mason
Before they read words, children are reading pictures. ~ David Wiesner
Children Reading quotes by David Wiesner
The home is the child's first school, the parent is the child's first teacher, and reading is the child's first subject. ~ Barbara Bush
Children Reading quotes by Barbara Bush
We live in a highly industrialized society and every member of the Black nation must be as academically and technologically developed as possible. To wage a revolution, we need competent teachers, doctors, nurses, electronics experts, chemists, biologists, physicists, political scientists, and so on and so forth. Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it. ~ Frances M. Beal
Children Reading quotes by Frances M. Beal
Reading with my children is incredibly important to me and a wonderful way to spend time together as a family, exploring magical worlds through books and stories. ~ Frank Lampard
Children Reading quotes by Frank Lampard
Some may say [journal keeping] is a great deal of trouble. But we should not call anything trouble which brings to pass good. I consider that portion of my life which has been spent in keeping journals and writing history to have been very profitably spent. - If there was no other motive in view [except] to have the privilege of reading over our journals and for our children to read, it would pay for the time spent in writing it. ~ Wilford Woodruff
Children Reading quotes by Wilford Woodruff
So I ask you: whose job is it in this country to wake up comatose parents? Someone better do it soon because knowing television's potential for harm and keeping that knowledge to ourselves instead of sharing it with parents amounts to covering up a land mine on a busy street. ~ Jim Trelease
Children Reading quotes by Jim Trelease
The best way to get children excited about reading is to read to them from the beginning of their lives. ~ J.K. Rowling
Children Reading quotes by J.K. Rowling
Children who are read to learn two things: First, that reading is worthwhile, and second, that they are worthwhile. ~ Laura Bush
Children Reading quotes by Laura Bush
Reading aloud and talking about what we're reading sharpens children's brains. It helps develop their ability to concentrate at length, to solve problems logically, and to express themselves more easily and clearly. ~ Mem Fox
Children Reading quotes by Mem Fox
It is my desire to break the destructive generational cycle of illiteracy in the home by focusing on the children. Reading to your child has so much value as a parent because it opens the lines of communication. ~ Victoria Osteen
Children Reading quotes by Victoria Osteen
As parents, we have to find the time and the energy to step in and help our children love reading. We can read to them, talk to them about what they're reading, and make time for this by turning off the television set ourselves. Libraries are a critical tool to help parents do this. ~ Barack Obama
Children Reading quotes by Barack Obama
Children read more when they see other people reading. ~ Stephen D. Krashen
Children Reading quotes by Stephen D. Krashen
Adults are living increasingly as children: completely in their imaginations. Reading Harry Potter while every newspaper in the country goes out of business. They know so little that is real. ~ Lorrie Moore
Children Reading quotes by Lorrie Moore
You have to be very clear with yourself about how you're going to spend your time. When a child is at school or napping, you need to realize that this is your writing time and you don't spend it surfing the Internet or reading. ~ Elizabeth Hoyt
Children Reading quotes by Elizabeth Hoyt
I hope you are reading to your children, out loud. That's much better than watching television, much better. They won't get very much out of television except some bad thoughts. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley
Children Reading quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
Each day millions of children arrive in American classrooms in search of more than reading and math skills. They are looking for a light in the darkness of their lives, a Good Samaritan who will stop and bandage a bruised heart or ego. ~ Jim Trelease
Children Reading quotes by Jim Trelease
I hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren't consumed by technology and television. ~ Jimmy Buffett
Children Reading quotes by Jimmy Buffett
I think the closest thing to a time machine that I've ever found is the Children's section of a library. ~ AnnaMarie Ralph
Children Reading quotes by AnnaMarie Ralph
Just a little every day That's the way Children learn to read and write Bit by bit and mite by mite. ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Children Reading quotes by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Loads of children read books about dinosaurs, underwater monsters, dragons, witches, aliens, and robots. Essentially, the people who read SF, fantasy and horror haven't grown out of enjoying the strange and weird. ~ China Mieville
Children Reading quotes by China Mieville
Even if you've sworn to yourself never to read vampire fiction again, do yourself the favor of reading Motherless Child. Glen Hirshberg has crafted a compelling, heartbreaking thriller full of character, grit, and sorrow. Bravo ~ Christopher Golden
Children Reading quotes by Christopher Golden
Milton Erickson was a master at using experiential techniques to elicit strengths that were previously dormant. Mills and Crowley have masterfully captured essential elements of Erickson's work and applied it to therapy with children. Easy to read, meticulously referenced, and filled with inspiring case studies, Therapeutic Metaphors for Children and the Child Within has now been updated with important new findings, and it's essential reading for clinicians who work with children as well as for those who want to improve their use of therapeutic metaphor. ~ Jeffrey K. Zeig
Children Reading quotes by Jeffrey K. Zeig
Escapism isn't good or bad of itself. What is important is what you are escaping from and where you are escaping to. I write from experience, since in my case I escaped to the idea that books could be really enjoyable, an aspect of reading that teachers had not hitherto suggested. ~ Terry Pratchett
Children Reading quotes by Terry Pratchett
The more you do it, the more you learn to concentrate, as a child does, incredibly intensively and then you sort of have to relax. I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would in between scenes be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I'd think, 'How can you do that?' ~ Cate Blanchett
Children Reading quotes by Cate Blanchett
Boko Haram represents the ultimate Fatwa of our time. The question is does the sect's Fatwa represent the articulated position of the majority of Muslims in this nation? My reading over the last few years is an unambiguous no. We are undergoing an affliction that many could not have imagined about a decade ago. Let us confront the ultimate horror now. To remain inactive at this moment is to betray our children and to consolidate the ongoing crimes against our humanity. We must take the battle to the enemy ... We sent our children to school; we must bring them back to school. ~ Wole Soyinka
Children Reading quotes by Wole Soyinka
It's such a wonderful feeling to watch a child discover that reading is a marvelous adventure rather than a chore. I know that many writers for children say they do not write specifically with a child audience in mind ... This isn't true for me. I am very aware of my audience. Sometimes I can almost see them out there reacting as I write. Sometimes I think, 'Oh, you're going to like this part. ~ Zilpha Keatley Snyder
Children Reading quotes by Zilpha Keatley Snyder
I'm not really interested in writing or reading about people who are nice and easy. I like the problem children. ~ Jami Attenberg
Children Reading quotes by Jami Attenberg
Just like providing healthy food, clean water, comfortable home, good education and health care to children is a must and a right, teaching them how to read books passionately is a skill that they need to live in life living by values, and think logically, and know what's right from wrong, and have a compassionate heart. ~ Noora Ahmed Alsuwaidi
Children Reading quotes by Noora Ahmed Alsuwaidi
So it is with children who learn to read fluently and well: They begin to take flight into whole new worlds as effortlessly as young birds take to the sky. ~ William James
Children Reading quotes by William James
We have an obligation to support libraries. To use libraries, to encourage others to use libraries, to protest the closure of libraries. If you do not value libraries then you do not value information or culture or wisdom. You are silencing the voices of the past and you are damaging the future.
We have an obligation to read aloud to our children. To read them things they enjoy. To read to them stories we are already tired of. To do the voices, to make it interesting, and not to stop reading to them just because they learn to read to themselves. Use reading-aloud time as bonding time, as time when no phones are being checked, when the distractions of the world are put aside. ~ Neil Gaiman
Children Reading quotes by Neil Gaiman
When I say to a parent, "read to a child", I don't want it to sound like medicine. I want it to sound like chocolate. ~ Mem Fox
Children Reading quotes by Mem Fox
I remember the first year after my second child was born, what I can remember of it at all, as a year of disarray, of overturned glasses of milk, of toys on the floor, of hours from sunrise to sunset that were horribly busy but filled with what, at the end of the day, seemed like absolutely nothing at all. What saved my sanity were books. What saved my sanity was disappearing, if only for fifteen minutes before I inevitably began to nod off in bed ... and as it was for me when I was young and surrounded by siblings, as it is today when I am surrounded by children, reading continues to provide an escape from a crowded house into an imaginary room of one's own. ~ Anna Quindlen
Children Reading quotes by Anna Quindlen
A love of reading is an acquired taste, not an instinctive preference. The habit of reading is formed in childhood; and a child's taste in reading is formed in the right direction or in the wrong one while he is under the influence of his parents; and they are directly responsible for the shaping and cultivating of that taste. ~ Henry Clay Trumbull
Children Reading quotes by Henry Clay Trumbull
Some people never learn how to talk to kids. They turn up the volume and enunciate with extra care, as if talking to a partially deaf immigrant. They sound as if they're reading lines somebody else wrote for them, or as if what they're saying is really for the benefit of other adults listening and not just for the child. Kids sense that and turn off. ~ F. Paul Wilson
Children Reading quotes by F. Paul Wilson
I don't think there is such a thing as a bad book for children ... do not discourage children from reading because you feel they are reading the wrong thing. Fiction you do not like is the gateway drug to other books you may prefer. ~ Neil Gaiman
Children Reading quotes by Neil Gaiman
My parents read the comics to me, and I fell in love with comic strips. I've collected them all of my life. I have a complete collection of all the "Buck Rogers" Sunday funnies and daily paper strips, I have all of "Prince Valiant" put away, all of "Tarzan," which appeared in the Sunday funnies in 1932 right on up through high school. So I've learned a lot from reading comics as a child. ~ Ray Bradbury
Children Reading quotes by Ray Bradbury
I decided I don't want to go for the top job now. I could be working for another 25 years and I'd like to be reading bedtime stories to my children for another two or three years. ~ Yvette Cooper
Children Reading quotes by Yvette Cooper
I spent a lot of time reading blogs by mothers who had children with varying degrees of neural dysfunction, from schizophrenia to all sorts of different issues. And honestly, I don't think it's different for anybody. There's no right way to make sure your child will be emotionally and mentally healthier. It's just frustrating. ~ Vera Farmiga
Children Reading quotes by Vera Farmiga
...that the decline in reading among children was largely the fault of their parents. Parents these days don't read books, themselves, but they feel they should make their children read. Since they aren't readers, however, they have no idea what to give their children. That's why they cling to the recommendations from the Ministry of Education. Those books are all insufferably boring and, as a result, the kids learn to hate books. It's a vicious cycle with no end in sight. ~ Keigo Higashino
Children Reading quotes by Keigo Higashino
I envy neither the heart nor the head of any legislator who has been born to an inheritance of privileges, who has behind him agesof education, dominion, civilization, and Christianity, if he stands opposed to the passage of a national education bill, whose purpose is to secure education to the children of those who were born under the shadow of institutions which made it a crime to read. ~ Frances Harper
Children Reading quotes by Frances Harper
I think the written word is my first love. I was just a very imagination - centered child and a big part of that imaginary life came from reading. ~ Zoe Kazan
Children Reading quotes by Zoe Kazan
I always feel like my book is a success when I see a child reading it, and they have their pointer finger out, and they kind of keep their place as they look all around the page. I've always been impressed by how children are so observant. ~ Jan Brett
Children Reading quotes by Jan Brett
Caring. And reading the Bible, learning about God, Jesus, love. He said, 'Bring on the children', 'Imitate the children', 'Be like the children' and 'Take care of others.' Take care of old people. And we were raised with those values. Those are very important values and my family and I we were raised with those values and they continue strong in us today. ~ Michael Jackson
Children Reading quotes by Michael Jackson
Reading to children at night, responding to their smiles with a smile, returning their vocalizations with one of your own, touching them, holding them - all of these further a child's brain development and future potential, even in the earliest months. ~ T. Berry Brazelton
Children Reading quotes by T. Berry Brazelton
How charming. The king and his little princess knocking on my covens door." Ursula sighed dramatically. "What do you insolent merfolks want with me now? I swear I haven't eaten any of your children."
-Ursula ~ Khalia Hades
Children Reading quotes by Khalia Hades
The creative impulse can be killed, but it cannot be taught ... What a teacher can do ... in working with children, is to give the flame enough oxygen so that it can burn. As far as I'm concerned, this providing of oxygen is one of the noblest of all vocations. ~ Madeleine L'Engle
Children Reading quotes by Madeleine L'Engle
I don't think that the definition of library has changed. Libraries have never been repositories solely of books. In Alexandria for instance, the model of the ideal library perhaps, there was a will to collect every book in the world, but at the same time they had maps and objects and there was a sense that this was a world of study and communication. The technology changes, and so electronic media should enter the library as long as we don't forget that there are also books. I don't believe in technologies that want to exclude one another. A new technology comes into the world and believes that it can bill itself on the corpse of the previous technology, but that never happens. Photography did not eliminate painting. Film did not eliminate theater and so on. One technology feeds on the vocabulary of the other, and I believe that the electronic technology has taught us to value the reading on the page, and the reading on the page has taught us what we can do on the screen. They are alternatives, but they're certainly not synonymous. ~ Alberto Manguel
Children Reading quotes by Alberto Manguel
Whenever you're done reading the chapter," he held uo his hands like take your time, "we'll start the concert." With a quick flip of my wrist I gave him the middle finger. He threw his head back and laughed.
I looked up at Hawkins, who locked eyes with mine as he sang, "Love in an elevator, lovin' it up, til I hit the ground. ~ Leah Spiegel
Children Reading quotes by Leah Spiegel
If we could raise one generation with unconditional love, there would be no Hitlers. We need to teach the next generation of children from Day One that they are responsible for their lives.
Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear. ~ Elisabeth Kubler Ross
Children Reading quotes by Elisabeth Kubler Ross
I was thrilled to be able to read at three. I just thought everyone loved reading as much as I did. ~ Adora Svitak
Children Reading quotes by Adora Svitak
Freud was the man who seeded a progeny of doctors interested in abnormal psychology. With the intellectual force of a battering ram, Freud penetrated deeply into the untouched and delicate flower that was psychosis. His strong, trunk-like stature as an analyst led to the cherry popping of many previously unthought theories on the mind. He also proved that people constantly think about sex even while not penis reading about it. ~ Dan Wilbur
Children Reading quotes by Dan Wilbur
Terrorism must be outlawed by all civilized nations - not explained or rationalized, but fought and eradicated. Nothing can, nothing will justify the murder of innocent people and helpless children. ~ Elie Wiesel
Children Reading quotes by Elie Wiesel
Reading releases you from the limits of yourself. ~ Chloe Thurlow
Children Reading quotes by Chloe Thurlow
If he could have his way, Satan would distract us from our heritage. He would have us become involved in a million and one things in this life-probably none of which is very important in the long run-to keep us from concentrating on the things that are really important, particularly the reality that we are God's children. He would like us to forget about home and family values. He'd like to keep us so busy with comparatively insignificant things that we don't have time to make the effort to understand where we came from, whose children we are, and how glorious our ultimate homecoming can be! ~ Marvin J. Ashton
Children Reading quotes by Marvin J. Ashton
It's strange, talking about love. I used to hate the word.
Hate is too strong. I was sick of reading about it in books, hearing it in songs, watching it in films. It seemed such a huge burden to place on another person - to love them; to give them something so unbelievably fragile and expect them not to break it or lose it or leave it behind on the No.96 bus. ~ Michael Robotham
Children Reading quotes by Michael Robotham
While it's certainly true that raising children is a big job and certainly has emotional resonance, it's really hard to intellectually justify the belief that you're adding something important to the world by adding more people to pollute the planet and compete for opportunities that become more precious as the number of people vying for a chance grows. ~ Amanda Marcotte
Children Reading quotes by Amanda Marcotte
We teach our kids the importance of good dental care, proper nutrition, and financial responsibility. How many of us teach our children to monitor their own brain health, or know how to do it ourselves? ~ Sue Klebold
Children Reading quotes by Sue Klebold
You are currently experiencing desire; otherwise, you wouldn't be reading these words. Even if you are reading them at the behest of someone else, you are motivated by your desire to please that person. And if you stop reading, you will not do so because you have stopped desiring but because your desires have changed. ~ William Braxton Irvine
Children Reading quotes by William Braxton Irvine
Let the whole Earth be filled with his Glory! Thus the LORD was pleased to smite our Enemies in the hinder Parts, and to give us their Land for an Inheritance: Who remembred us in our low Estate, and redeemed us out of our Enemies Hands: Let us therefore praise the LORD for his Goodness and his wonderful Works to the Children of Men! ~ John Mason
Children Reading quotes by John Mason
The only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread one's influence wide to learn how to go deep. The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it. ~ Marianne Williamson
Children Reading quotes by Marianne Williamson
North of Hardanger the children would run naked in warm rains like these. We don't sew our bearskins on until the sea starts to freeze,' he said.
I nearly hit him. ~ Mark Lawrence
Children Reading quotes by Mark Lawrence
How should we manage our mind, which is inherently just like the open sky? It's actually very simple. Let it do as it wishes, just as you would let go of a naughty child struggling to get free from your arms. As long as you know you can keep your eye on him at all times, you certainly shouldn't try to tie him up or confine him. You also shouldn't try to get his attention with candy, biscuits, or toys because, as with all naughty children, it's only natural that he will eventually return to his mother's embrace. When mother and child are united, that is similar to when your mind has returned again to its proper place. ~ Shang Rinpoche
Children Reading quotes by Shang Rinpoche
He was righteous. He had a sense of duty, of what was right and wrong in the world, and I don't mean that in some evangelical sense of the word. And I don't mean that his world was just black and white. He just had a code, you know? He used to talk about that, about how few people had CODES anymore. It was his thing. He was always reading books about the samurai, about Japanese culture. ~ Nickolas Butler
Children Reading quotes by Nickolas Butler
When children feel comfortable asking for help, they know they matter. They see that others care and want to be there for them. They understand that they are not alone and can gain some control by reaching out for support. They realize that pain is not permanent; things can get better. ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Children Reading quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
Even before baptism, a child or an adult can have the Holy Ghost testify to their hearts of sacred truth. They must act on that testimony to retain it, but it will guide them toward goodness. ~ Henry B. Eyring
Children Reading quotes by Henry B. Eyring
Edmund doesn't solve any of his grievances or personality disorders by going through the wardrobe. If anything, they're exacerbated and brought to a crisis by his experiences in Narnia. When you go to Narnia, your worries come with you. Narnia just becomes the place where you work them out and try to resolve them. ~ Levi Grossman
Children Reading quotes by Levi Grossman
It would have made a nice painting, were someone to choose something as lowly as that to study. Another story, a story written in oils rather than one painted on porcelain. But to be most effective, the faces of the children would need to be painted in a blur, the way all children's faces truly are. For they blur as they run; they blur as they grow and change so fast; and they blur to keep us from loving them too deeply, for their protection, and also for ours. ~ Gregory Maguire
Children Reading quotes by Gregory Maguire
Reading is like magic--I think I've made my case. Without the gift of words, this world's a crazy place! ~ Denise Walter McConduit
Children Reading quotes by Denise Walter McConduit
God isn't separate from us, because He's the love inside our minds. Every problem, inside and out, is due to a separation from love on someone's part. Thirty-five thousand people a day die of hunger on earth, and there's no dearth of food. The question is not 'what kind of God would let children starve?' but rather, 'What kind of people let children starve?' ~ Marianne Williamson
Children Reading quotes by Marianne Williamson
But don't you want lots of money?"
"Beene, I spent many years working for the Belgians in the rubber plantation at Coquilhatville, and I saw rich men there. They were always unhappy and had very few children. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Children Reading quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
Desperation is an emotion I seldom feel, except in relation to education, for I believe very deeply that for most of our children, a solid school education represents the only means available for ending the cycle of family poverty. Skills come later. Economic growth even later. Social cohesion lies far in the distance. What matters is that children complete 12 years of schooling with the ability to read, write, reason, calculate and express confidence for purposes of further studies, skills training and higher education. ~ Jonathan Jansen
Children Reading quotes by Jonathan Jansen
Play is as necessary to the perfect development of a child as sunshine is to the perfect development of a plant. ~ Orison Swett Marden
Children Reading quotes by Orison Swett Marden
The music masters familiarize children's minds with rhythms and melodies, thus making them more civilized, more balanced, better adjusted in themselves, and more capable in whatever they say or do, for rhythm and harmony are essential to the whole of life. ~ Plato
Children Reading quotes by Plato
A child ... opens and closes like a blossom. ~ Elias Canetti
Children Reading quotes by Elias Canetti
Even the most scientific investigator in science, the most thoroughgoing Positivist, cannot dispense with fiction; he must at least make use of categories, and they are already fictions, analogical fictions, or labels, which give us the same pleasure as children receive when they are told the "name" of a thing. ~ Havelock Ellis
Children Reading quotes by Havelock Ellis
Edward Lasco was on the screened porch of his rented house in a comfortable but not elegant older section of the town where he'd lived for the past fifteen years when his wife, Elise, who six months before had left him and moved to a nearby city to work in a psychiatric hospital, came around the side of the house and stood beside the screen looking in. She had on a business outfit - natural linen suit, knee-high boots, dark glasses with at least three distinguishable colors tiered top to bottom in the lenses - and she carried a slick briefcase, thin and shiny. Her hair was shorter than he'd seen it, styled in a peculiar way so that it seemed it spots to jerk away from her head, to say, "I'm hair, boy, and you'd better believe it." Edward had come outside with a one-pint carton of skim milk and a ninety-nine-cookie package of Oreos and a just-received issue of InfoWorld, and he was entirely content with the prospect of eating his cookies and drinking his milk and reading his magazine, but when he saw Elise he was filled with a sudden, very unpleasant sense that he didn't want to see her. It'd been a good two and a half months since he'd talked to her, and there she was looking like an earnest TV art director's version of the modern businesswoman; it made him feel that his life was fucked, and this was before she'd said a word. ~ Frederick Barthelme
Children Reading quotes by Frederick Barthelme
You hear people say it all the time, how life changes so drastically. But you can't possibly grasp how beautiful that is until you have your child. ~ Pink
